Ian Fraser Kilmister
(December,24th 1945 – December,28th 2015),
better known as
Lemmy Kilmister
or simply
Lemmy,
was an
English musician.
He was the founder,
lead vocalist,
bassist
and primary
songwriter
of the rock band
of which he
was the
only continuous member,
and a member of
Hawkwind
from
1971 to 1975.
A foundational force
in the genre
following the advent
of the new wave of
British heavy metal,
Lemmy was known fo
r his appearance,
which included his
signature friendly
mutton chops,
his military-influenced
fashion sense
and his gravelly
rasp of a voice.
It was once declared
"one of the most recognisable
voices in rock".
He was also noted
for his unique
posture when singing,
which was once
described as
"looking up towards a
towering microphone
tilted down into
his weather-beaten face".
He was also known for
his bass playing style,
using his Rickenbacker bass
to create an
"overpowered,
distorted rhythmic rumble".
A notable aspect
of his bass sound
was his
guitar-like riffing,
often playing
power chords
using heavily
overdriven tube stacks
by Marshall.
Lemmy was born in
Stoke-on-Trent
and grew up
between there,
the nearby towns of
Newcastle-under-Lyme
and Madeley,
and later in
the village of
Benllech, Anglesey, Wales.
At a later point,
Lemmy remembers
living briefly at
Gwrych Castle,
Abergele.
He was influenced by
rock and roll
and the early works of
the Beatles,
which led to him playing
in several rock groups
in the 1960s,
such as
the Rockin' Vickers.
He worked as a
roadie for
Jimi Hendrix
and
the Nice
before joining
the space rock band
Hawkwind in 1971,
singing lead vocals
on their hit
"Silver Machine".

Darrell Lance Abbott
(August 20, 1966 – December 8, 2004),
known professionally as
Dimebag Darrell,
was an
American musician.
He was the guitarist
of the
heavy metal bands
Pantera
and
both of which he
co-founded
alongside his brother
Vinnie Paul.
He is considered
by many
to be one of the
greatest metal
guitarists of all time.
A son of country
music producer
Jerry Abbott,
Abbott began
playing guitar at age 12,
and Pantera
released its debut album,
Metal Magic
(1983),
when he was 16.
Originally a
glam metal musician,
Abbott went by the stage name
Diamond Darrell
at the time.
Two further albums
in the glam
metal style
followed with
Projects in the Jungle
(1984)
and
I Am the Night
(1985),
before original vocalist
Terry Glaze
was replaced by
Phil Anselmo
in 1986
and
Power Metal
(1988)
was released.
The band's
major-label debut,
Cowboys from Hell
(1990),
introduced a
groove metal sound
to which Abbott's
guitar playing
was central.
This sound was refined
on
Vulgar Display of Power
(1992),
and the group's
third major-label record,
Far Beyond Driven,
debuted at No. 1
on the
Billboard 200
in 1994.
Tensions within Pantera
reduced its output
after the release of
The Great Southern Trendkill
in 1996,
and
Reinventing the Steel
(2000)
was the band's
final studio album
before its
acrimonious separation
in 2003.
Abbott subsequently
formed
Damageplan
with his brother
Vinnie Paul
and released
New Found Power,
the band's
only album,
in 2004.
Other works
by Abbott
included a
collaboration with
David Allan Coe
titled
Rebel Meets Rebel
(2006)
and numerous
guest guitar solos
for bands such as
Anthrax.
While on tour with
Damageplan,
Abbott was shot and killed
by a deranged fan
during a performance
at the Alrosa Villa nightclub
in Columbus, Ohio
on
December 8, 2004.
Three others were
shot and killed
before the
perpetrator
was killed
by a police officer.
Abbott was ranked at No. 92
on
Rolling Stone's list of
"The 100 Greatest Guitarists
of All Time"
in 2011,
and No. 19
on Louder's list of
"The 50 Greatest Guitarists
of All Time"
in 2018.
He placed at No. 5
on Gibson's list of
"The Top 10 Metal Guitarists
of All Time"
in 2015,
and the same year
was ranked as the
most influential
metal guitarist
of the
past 25 years
by VH1.
